We harvest about 80 acres of dry beans for direct sale each year. Last year, when our old bean combine gave up, we finished by direct harvesting with a JD4400. I don't think we can continue with that machine due to potential seed damage. So, we are thinking of an IH 1440- supposed to be gentler than a JD.
Anyone have experience harvesting beans with a 1440 or other CIH combine?
Some 1440s are advertised with a specialty reel. Is that important?
Any great advantage to spending the extra money to go to a 1600 series?
Thanks
